after playing all of my matches online with a coupla guys that truly know how to play a wrestling game....i can honestly say the online features are so limiting they detract from the game's enjoyment. first off...there isnt any game lobby to speak of. once you play a match to completion, you have to back out of the menus...re-send game invites, and then start over with the selection process everytime. having the ability to play through a match, then go immediately to the lobby of your party and start another one seems pretty standard fare. this does not work! it takes entirely too much time to get a match started. secondly, the lack of match options and game modes is sickening. you are basically imited to singles exhibition style matches...besides the 2-on-1 handicap and the 3-way dance, there isnt any multi-player matches to be played online. this game features one of the best royal rumbles ive ever played, but you cant share that with your friends. im not saying that 30 different users sould all join a rumble, but at least have it where four users can play at the same time...considering you never really make it that far in the rumble with the same guy anyways! we tried playing a tag match where we would have 3 guys active, plus one computer sim...but it would not allow it. the only other way was to have to wait for some random dillhole to join... in a private party thats impossible! hell, you cant even add in computer drones to be the other players if you want....absolute horseshit. i feel that every match in this game should be multi-player capable. i would hope that there will be a patch of some sort to address these issues as they are clearly hindering to the online playing experience. me, sorednax, and a friend o' mine have been playing the hell outta the 3 way dances (and were having a ball with it) but thats all we can do....and thats just so limiting considering all the match types, besides any tournament or hardcore match, are all represented. we cant play a multiplayer HITC, ladder, rumble, or a tag match...and thats just unforgivable. im more than certain that the game could easily support 4 player online matches. |

Yes, and I mentioned this on the gameplay thread I think. Online play has to be seriously reworked. Although, considering that 1/2 my characters cannot be played online due to the fact that they have logo's or some nonsense, it makes me wonder if THQ is at all concerned about online play. They seem to make it more and more difficult each year to enjoy online play. And yes, I've enjoyed playing with you guys too. p.s. where have you been the last few days, we keep seeming to miss each other. |

This has been covered elsewhere, but yes, by all means, put in private lobbies online, allow AI controlled opponents to make up the numbers (which would enable all match types), and get a disclaimer sorted to allow online CAL designs. |
